horrible skin problems after dental implants

horrible skin problems after dental implants

I had 3 dental implants put in 10 months ago.  I also had a dental implant bridge done on another part of my mouth that same month.  Up until that time, I was very healthy person and had no problems with my skin.
A month after implants, I started developing tiny boil-like eruptions on my thighs with much inflamation (inflammation) under the skin.  I also started to have many, many tiny red bumps all over my body.  I'm a mess and clothing hurts me horribly.  I have to hid my body and wear only very soft clothes.  The eruptions are like tiny painful boils and many, many small red bumps.  I have been to my primary doctor several times, 10 dermatologists, 2 infectious disease doctors.  My bloodwork is perfect.  I have taken cortisone for 9 months and am now taking antihistimines.  I still am breaking out all over.  I went to an allergist and found out I am allergic to gold, nickel as well as other things.  The dentists say that this could not possibly from dental work as I have no pain or inflamation (inflammation) in the mouth.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can go for help.  I don't even know what type of doctor to see.
I would hate to pull out the 3 implants because of the expense.  I am trying to find out if there is any way to recover from this type of situation.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you

Please go to the titanium/vanadium/aluminum forum site!

You will see numerous responses over the last year with similar responses, I just had 4 dental titanium implants removed 5 months ago.   You have an allergy or had a toxic reaction, you need to have them removed or you will not get better.  It has happened to lots of us.  It takes awhile after they are out but you will get better!!  
Doctors aren't helpful or knowledgeable.  This has happened to about 4% of us.  Read all about this in the above forum.

Hi Estring,
Thank you so much for replying.  I am new to this site - but I have read some of your other posts where you mentioned this.  I tried to find it then, but am having a horrible time locating the titanium/vanadium/aluminium forum.  Could you tell me exactly how to find it?  Is that a sub-directory under another forum?
Thank you again.

They have just rearranged their website.  The old one was much easier to use and this one confusing.  The other forums used to be listed at the end of the page but now it's not.

Type in titanium/vanadium/aluminum and a page will come up and there will be 1 post.  Click on that post and the forum will come up.  You will be shocked at what you will read from all of us.

Will help in any way I can.  Get back to me if you can't find it.
